- Hating multiplayer? Yeah. I've got a bunch of reasons. Stupid people, working out a schedule to play with friends, blah, blah.- Games are too long? Nah. I put 40 hours into Fallout 3 before I even started working on the main quest outside of the original vault.- Miss compelling storylines? Nope. Plenty of great storylines out there today.- Think originality's dead? Well, let's call it "chronically ill." Any time a good, original game comes out, it's copied by a million others. Always has been, always will be. Same is true in all forms of entertainment, from movies to tv to books to music...- Miss when games were about fun? Why would you play a game that's not fun? How was Rock Band not all about fun? What about Portal 2?

Keep in mind that he shows both sides of the argument for every point. He conceides that games are still fun, you just see things differently when you're a kid, the point he's trying to make is that things lose their magic when you grow up and he realizes that when he watches his kids play.

I don't find anything that I dislike really (I disliked the article but I won't even bother to criticize that). Then again, I personally think that video games are better nowadays... is kinda hard to explain this in the Internet without a boring wall of letters that someone will break piece by piece though.

But yeah, I enjoy my hobby and I don't try to take it too seriously like others I've seen do.

*sigh* That article reminds me why I stopped reading at Cracked. Any point the author might make is pretty much immediately lost within the first section when you realize he has absolutely no idea about the very subject he's trying to speak about. I read the whole thing; only purpose it served is one more addition to the pile of proof for why some people shouldn't write certain articles. XP
